The US has set a deadline for Iraq to disarm its militias by September 30, as the last US troops pack up and leave the country. This comes after a series of attacks on Saudi pipelines and other targets, highlighting the potency of Iraqi militia threats. The Financial Times reports that the Saudi pipeline attack has exposed the potent Iraqi militia threat.

The US has long been concerned about the influence of Iran in Iraq, and the presence of militias loyal to Tehran. The situation is complex, with Iraq caught between the US and Iran. Shafaq News notes that Iraq is facing pressure from both countries, and must navigate this delicate situation.

The US has given Iraq a clear deadline, but it remains to be seen how the country will respond.
